Introduction
This document provides software upgrade examples.
Prerequisites
This document is not restricted to specific software or hardware versions.
The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.
This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of FTP and TFTP.
General restrictions and guidelines
When you upgrade software, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
· Make sure the switch has sufficient storage space for the upgrade file. If the switch does not have sufficient storage space, delete unused files by using the delete /unreserved file-url command.
· Save the configuration before the upgrade for the configuration to survive a reboot.
Example: Using the switch as a TFTP client to upgrade software
Network configuration
As shown in Figure 1, use TFTP to download a software upgrade file from a TFTP server to upgrade the switch.

Analysis
To use the switch as an FTP server, you must create a local user account on the switch to provide FTP service.
Restrictions and guidelines
You must set the file transfer mode to binary for FTP to transfer files correctly.
Procedures
1. Configure the FTP server:
# Assign an IP address to M-GigabitEthernet 0/0/0.
<Switch> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Switch] interface m-gigabitethernet 0/0/0
[Switch-M-GigabitEthernet0/0/0] ip address 192.168.100.66 255.255.255.0
[Switch-M-GigabitEthernet0/0/0] quit
# Add a local user account. Set the username to abc and the password to hello123456.
[Switch] local-user abc
[Switch-luser-abc] password simple hello123456
# Assign the network-admin user role to the user account.
[Switch-luser-abc] authorization-attribute user-role network-admin
# Remove the default network-operator user role.
[Switch-luser-abc] undo authorization-attribute user-role network-operator
# Assign FTP service to the user account.
[Switch-luser-abc] service-type ftp
[Switch-luser-abc] quit
# Enable the FTP server.
